Well, I saw something strange in my Device Manager, it was Multimedia Audio, or something like that. I just right clicked on that and hit "reinstall drivers". That worked. Now, I really love Vista.
I'm glad it worked out for you. Sorry i didn't have you look for that, it didn't cross my mind that the device could be somewhere else when it's not exactly known what it is.
Well then you probably dont know how to use it properly, things like compatability wizard etc. If your gonna slate something at least give some valid reasons and explanations etc.
I didn't have problems with that. I usually installed manually. The problem with mine, I think, was a problem with the SIS AGP controller driver. The updates fixed it.
